Municipality in the east of Zuid-Holland, formed in 2015 with the merger of
the Nederlek, Ouderkerk, Vlist, Bergambacht and Schoonhoven municpipalities. Krimpenerwaard
covers the eponymous region, excluding Krimpen aan den IJssel.

The reformed
church is a mostly Gothic church with a part Romanesque tower from the
13th and 14th century. After the church was largely destroyed in 1575, it was
rebuilt in 1609-1611, probably in its former late-15th century state, except for
the choir which, now the church was in protestant hands, was no longer needed.

In 1920 the Passionists of Mook-Molenhoek (L) founded a second
Passionist monastery
outside Haastrecht. The monastery and the St. GabriŽl church were designed by J. Franssen
and were built in 1921-1922.

The oldest part of the Reformed church of
Stolwijk is the Gothic tower built in ca. 1501. The actual church was destroyed
several times. The current church in Traditionalist style was designed by
G. van Hoogevest and built in 1948.

The Reformed church of
Bergambacht dates back to the 14th century, although only parts of the
northern wall are that old, much of the nave having been rebuilt after a
fire in 1891. The Gothic tower was built shortly after
1512, when another fire destroyed the church.

The reformed Grote Kerk ("Great Church") or
Bartholomeuskerk was founded in the early-14th century, but was rebuilt
many times since. The lower part of the tower is in Campine Gothic
style, while the upper part is in Classical style.

Brandenburghis the name of this
old house that dates from before the 17th century, when it was rebuilt
into a soap works. In 1838 it became a synagogue and in 1868 the
current neo-Classical facade was added.
